Apparently the first of Norfolk Southern's "Heritage" locomotives has been released. Posted on the Heritagelocomotives forum was a link to a not-so-great photo uploaded to rrpicturearchives.net (sorry Stan) of the Conrail "Heritage" ES44 #8098http://rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2945994

Let this be a challenge to you east coast photographers: get out there and shoot a LocoPhotos worthy image to post here! Heck, you might even be the first to do so.

Guess this means the other NS "Heritage" locos will be forthcoming before too long...

Interesting they choose one of the very recent fallen flags to do first instead of something a little more "thrown back". Guess they figure there's still several CR guys in the photo room that know how to decal a CR engine. I'm guessing they're going to use small "NS" under the numbers to denote ownership of these endangered species?

Oh. They are? I heard about the scrap move from AltoonaWorks on Facebook. The odd thing is that they still had their MU cables, horns, bells, and smoe even had their number boards. I find it odd that they would not retrieve this from their units. Ah well. What NS wants, NS gets...
